Site Cancels Trayvon Martin Murder Weapon Auction



Today the story of George Zimmerman's latest in an extreeemely long line of very bad choices is spreading like horrifying wildfire across the internet and traditional media.  ICYMI, Zimmerman decided that he was going to auction off the gun he used to kill Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

But now for the good news - the auction appears to have been pulled. 



The Zimmerman auction link as of this writing


Not yet clear - who pulled the auction?  Did George Zimmerman have sudden, simultaneous bouts of common sense and decency (an exceedingly unlikely convergence of events, if ever there were one)?  Or did gunbroker.com get a heap of backlash and decide that proceeding with the auction was unseemly and/or bad business?

My odds are 10:1 on the latter.  And I'd be willing to bet that no small measure of the backlash came from pro-Second Amendment champions.  At least, I sincerely hope that's the case.
